Certainly I Am a Disease

I know I'm smart-
I don't need anyone's validation;
Just tell me where to start-
I don't need the whole demonstration .

I know my heart is gentle,
Sentimental,
But cold as ice does freeze-
When I please,
To have you weak in your knees;
Certainly I'm a disease.

In order to not get into it,
My mind works on the filtration-
Sticking out the duration;
For if I overhear the ignorance-
It only causes frustration,
And suggests I make this notation.

Bear in mind-
I'm not the boastful kind, 
Neither to your actions am I blind.

We're all important to ourselves. But it's no good up on the shelves. So when we must dust ourselves off. We hope the world just doesn't scoff. Peace. :)
